Tents - How to Choose the Right Tent For Family Camping, Festivals, Backpacking Or Expeditions

With so many fantastic tents now available it can be confusing and difficult to choose the right one. I hope to explain the differences between them to enable you to make the right choice. After all when you are on a camping holiday your tent is the most important piece of equipment you will take with you - it's where you eat, sleep and store your gear.

I'll start with Khyam. Their tents come in all shapes and sizes. They offer tents for summer camping to huge family tents that would house the Waltons quite happily! The Motordome range is fantastic if you have a camper van and want to create more space. The various tents available from Khyam group into the following categories: family camping, summer camping, Motordome, utility and not forgetting the essential accessories. Khyam offer their unique Quick Erect range which can be erected in a matter of seconds (for the smaller tents) using their Rapidex(R) Pole System. So if you want to get out and explore, spending less time pitching these tents would be perfect. The Quick Erect range includes family/group tents, caravan/motor caravan tents, utility tents, backpacking/cycling tents and festival tents. This range is made up of Flexi-Dome tents and Ridgi-Dome tents. Flexi-Dome are the smaller ones and the Ridgi-Dome's, being bigger, have the additional benefit of adjustable bedroom and porch poles. The Rapidex(R) Pole System is strong and reliable. Poles lock permanently into position for stability. Khyam's pole and sleeve tents use high quality galvanised steel pole joining ferules. The poles are colour coded for easy pitching and they have re-inforced pegging and guy points for durability. Khyam's pole and sleeve range is made up of mainly large family tents, sleeping up to 10 people. The utility range includes some great extras like their shower/toilet tent. All that's left now are the essential extras including carpets, groundsheets and windbreaks. These are optional extras so it's up to you to choose, most tent extras are made specifically for each tent ensuring a perfect fit.
